to the tune of Lucille 3/4 time
G
In a church in Toledo across from the depot
D7
She knelt down and she toyed with her ring
Am D7
I thought I’d get closer so I walked on over
Am D7 G
I sat down and asked her name
---
When she finished her prayer she said I’m no quitter
G7 C
But I finally quit living in sin
D7
I’m hungry for laughter and here ever after
G
I’m after whatever the other life brings
---
In the church door I saw him and I closely watched him
D7
I thought how he looked out of place
Am D7
He came to the woman who sat there beside me
Am D7 G
He had a strange look on his face
---
His big hands were calloused he looked like a mountain
G7 C
For a minute I thought I was dead
D7
But he started shaking his big heart was breaking
G
He turned to the woman and said
chorus
G
You picked a fine time for prayer Lucille
G
Four hungry children and a crop in the field
C
We’ve had some bad times lived through some sad times
G
But this time we need God to heal
D7 C
You picked a fine time for prayer Lucille
---
After he joined us I thanked God for mercy
D7
And thought how our sins make us small
Am D7
But light from God’s throne room came to an empty tomb
G
He’s there to help when we fall
---
There God set her free right when she made her plea
G7 C
At first I thought she’d lost her mind
D7
The man prayed with her, then Sundays thereafter
G
Kept coming back time after time
repeat chorus
